Team LeBron vs Team Giannis Prediction and Betting Tips (20.02.2023)

Command Analysis

Team LeBron

USA

Team LeBron won all five latest All-Star games. In 2018, King James and co secured a victory over Team Curry. After that, LeBron secured two victories over Team Giannis and two more victories over Team Durant.

Aside from LeBron himself, there will be Luka Doncic, Lauri Markkanen, Ja Morant and Nikola Jokic in the starting five. Domantas Sabonis, Damian Lillard, Jaren Jackson, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Paul George, De'Aaron Fox and Anthony Edwards will start the game on the bench. Zion Williamson and Stephen Curry were selected in fan vote, but won't play due to injuries.

Team Giannis

USA

Giannis Antetokounmpo was selected as captain in 2019 and 2020, but his team failed to beat LeBron James in any of these fixtures. Greek player and his teammates suffered two defeats (164:178 and 155:157).

This time, Antetokounmpo will have Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum as starters. Bam Adebayo, Jaylen Brown, DeMar DeRozan, Tyrese Haliburton, Jrue Holiday, Julius Randle and Pascal Siakam will start the game on the bench. Kevin Durant will miss the game through injury.

Tip and bets

1.78Handicap (-1,5) on Team LeBron

Seems like Team LeBron team will get another victory. The King simply have better players. Nikola Jokic should dominate under the own rim, while Ja Morant and Luka Doncic will be tearing apart opponent's defense.

LeBron also have strong players on the bench. MVP of 2012/13 NBA season Paul George and Damian Lillard, who gained a phenomenal form, should provide a strong offensive performance. Giannis' team is not as strong as LeBron's, so the King should get another victory.

Our prediction - LeBron team to win with a handicap of (-1.5) points

1.85Total under 325,5 points

All Star games are always high-scoring, but we think that a total of 325,5 points is way too high. Teams scored more than 325 only in one of five latest games. Taking that into account, we offer to place a bet on total under.

Our second bet is on total under 325,5 points
